Heroes to Zeros

 


2024 Charity Shop Purchases #10  - The Beta Band - Heroes To Zeros

My first Charity Shop purchase from Stirling. I have bought records from there before but in the Europa record shop rather than the plethora of charity shops outside the Thistle Centre.

From 2004 on the Regal label Heroes to Zeros is the third and final album from the Beta Band. It joins their 1999 debut The Beta Band and the CD of The Three EPs on the shelves. Hot Shots II remains the missing link.

What can you say? It's the Beta Band and is what you would expect from them. Critically received with a Metacritic rating of 74/100 and an inclusion in the 2005 version of the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Any of the 12 songs would be worthy of inclusion today but here are the two singles from the album.

A good find.
